A project manager is running a DevOps project in two-week sprints. Given the following information:
Which of the following is the number of issues logged during the second sprint?
A. 6
B. 7
C. 8
D. 9
Show Answer
Correct Answer: B
Explanation: With two‑week sprints, the second sprint covers the next 10 working days after sprint one. From the provided breakdown, the issues logged in those days sum to 7 (3 issues in the first week of sprint two and 4 in the second week), giving a total of 7 issues during the second sprint.
Question 12
Which of the following situations would require a project manager to revise the communication plan during a project's execution?
A. A change is approved that impacts the project schedule and budget.
B. The test results are not as expected.
C. The team is unclear which meetings they should attend.
D. A stakeholder requests some changes to the scope.
Show Answer
Correct Answer: C
Explanation: Revising the communications plan is required when communication roles, channels, frequency, or meeting participation are unclear or ineffective. If the team does not know which meetings to attend, the plan itself is deficient and must be updated. Changes to schedule, budget, scope, or test results typically require executing the existing communications plan to inform stakeholders, not revising the plan unless communication needs themselves change.
Question 13
During the planning phase, a project manager decides to introduce a new enterprise portal toot, which has been approved by the PMO. Which of the following should be the project manager's next step?
A. Create a transition plan.
B. Add training to the schedule.
C. Update the project charter
D. Involve the CCB.
Show Answer
Correct Answer: B
Explanation: The new enterprise portal tool has already been approved by the PMO, so it is not a pending change requiring CCB involvement, nor does it warrant updating the project charter. A transition plan is typically used for handover at project closure. The appropriate next step during planning is to ensure the team can effectively use the new tool, which means incorporating training activities into the project schedule.
Question 14
A team member needs to make an emergency update. The team member is unable to return to the office. Which of the following is the most secure way to make the update?
A. At home, using home internet and the company’s computer
B. At a coffee shop, using free Wi-Fi and the corporate computer
C. At home, using home internet and the corporate virtual private network
D. Anywhere the team member would like, using a mobile device and mobile internet
Show Answer
Correct Answer: C
Explanation: Using the corporate VPN provides encrypted communication and enforces company security controls over the connection. Home internet is generally safer than public Wi‑Fi, and the VPN mitigates risks such as eavesdropping and unauthorized access, making this the most secure option listed.
Question 15
A highly scored negative causes a risk trigger, but the issue has not started yet. Which of the following is the next step the project team should take?
A. Execute the contingency plan.
B. Perform a work-around.
C. Escalate to senior management.
D. Assign a risk owner.
Show Answer
Correct Answer: D
Explanation: The risk has been identified and triggered but has not yet become an issue. At this stage, the correct action is to ensure the risk is actively monitored and managed by assigning a risk owner. Contingency plans and workarounds are executed only after the risk materializes into an issue, and escalation is appropriate only if the risk is beyond the project manager’s authority. Therefore, assigning a risk owner is the appropriate next step.
Question 16
SIMULATION
-
During a gate review meeting, the deliverable was rejected by the customer.
INSTRUCTIONS
-
Review the dashboard.
Part 1: Drag and drop each task, placing them in the correct order based on the project change control process.
Part 2: Select the proper document(s) to be updated.
If at any time you would like to bring back the initial state of the simulation, please click the Reset All button.
Show Answer
Correct Answer: PART 1 – Correct order
1. Consult the RACI matrix.
2. Assess the schedule, risk, and cost.
3. Define new requirements and record changes.
4. Obtain approval to proceed.
5. Select the appropriate document(s) to update.
6. Execute the change and test the deliverable.
7. Perform a demonstration.
8. Make an announcement on the company portal.
PART 2 – Documents to update
Change log
Issues log
Schedule
Risk register
Explanation: After the deliverable is rejected, roles are clarified (RACI), impacts are analyzed, and requirements are updated before seeking approval. Once approved, project documents are updated, the change is implemented and tested, demonstrated to the customer, and finally communicated. A rejected deliverable and approved change require updates to change tracking, issue tracking, schedule, and risk documentation.
Question 17
Which of the following cloud models can be used to speed up the development of a service that integrates with the operating system and accelerates the delivery of a software project?
A. SaaS
B. IaaS
C. DaaS
D. PaaS
Show Answer
Correct Answer: D
Explanation: Platform as a Service (PaaS) provides a ready-made development platform that includes the operating system, runtime, middleware, and development tools. This allows developers to focus on building and integrating application logic without managing underlying infrastructure, thereby accelerating development and delivery of software projects that integrate with OS-level services.
Question 18
A project manager is responsible for implementing a large, centralized repository that stores raw information from various sources in a structured and organized way. Which of the following should the project manager implement?
A. Shared folder
B. Infrastructure
C. Multitiered architecture
D. Data warehouse
Show Answer
Correct Answer: D
Explanation: A data warehouse is specifically designed as a centralized repository that collects raw data from multiple sources, stores it in a structured and organized manner, and supports querying, reporting, and analysis. The other options describe general storage, infrastructure, or architectural patterns, not a purpose-built centralized data repository.
Question 19
During an executive call, a project sponsor found out about issues with the project but was not able to provide details about the next steps. Which of the following needs to be revised?
A. Project dashboard
B. Gap analysis
C. Risk register
D. Communication plan
Show Answer
Correct Answer: D
Explanation: The issue is not that problems were unknown, but that the sponsor lacked clarity on next steps during an executive call. This points to ineffective communication planning—specifically, what information is communicated, at what level of detail, and to whom. Revising the communication plan ensures executives receive actionable, decision‑oriented information. A dashboard is just a reporting artifact derived from the plan, not the root cause.
Question 20
Which of the following describes the most likely issue related to team members not participating as expected during a multilocation project?
A. The communication plan was not distributed on time.
B. The team's written communication is not effective.
C. Language barriers are causing disruptions within the project team.
D. External factors to the project are limiting the project team.
Show Answer
Correct Answer: C
Explanation: In a multilocation project, the most common and most likely cause of reduced or inconsistent participation is communication challenges arising from language and cultural differences, as well as time zone separation. These barriers directly affect understanding, engagement, and responsiveness across locations. A late communication plan or poor writing are narrower issues, and external factors are too general and not specifically tied to multilocation dynamics.
